Chapter 88 Section 8 Return to Xiangguo Mansion

Li Si decided to start with Lu Buwei.He has said many times that Lu Buwei has rich experience and deep insights.Li Si's carriage passed the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion brilliantly, and drove straight in.The horse-drawn carriages at that time were no different than today's cars. They had license plates to hang on. Just looking at the license plate, one could know the details and status of the owner.But the guard's eyes were not white. Just by looking at the configuration and color of Li Si's carriage, he knew that it was Qing Ke's carriage, so he dared not stop him.This is often the case with gatekeepers, who recognize cars but not people.In the famous story of Lenin and the little guard, if Lenin took his own car instead of walking, maybe the little guard would have let him go early.

Li Si sat in the spacious carriage and traveled through the entire Xiangguo Mansion.Li Si hasn't been back here for a long time.Here, he spent the most depressing and difficult three years in his life.The Xiangguo Mansion is still the same Xiangguo Mansion, but in Li Si's eyes at this time, the Xiangguo Mansion has obviously become shorter and smaller. Lu Buwei personally met Li Si.Ever since Li Si took office as chief historian, the two had broken off their personal relationship.This time Li Si came to visit as a guest, so it was natural for a while to exchange pleasantries.For example: Li Si, you have been promoted to guest minister, I haven't gone to congratulate you yet, I'm really ashamed.Mr. Xiangguo, look at what you said, it is not all due to your cultivation, your kindness, Li Si never dared to forget for a day.Li Si, it's rare that you still have this kind of heart. You haven't come to see me for a long time, is it because you look down on me, an old guy, after being promoted.Oops, Xiangguo beat me, I wanted to see you a long time ago, it’s not because of your busy schedule, I’m afraid I’ll disturb you, no, I’m going to bother you if I work hard today, and make you hate me, I’m here to thank you too Old superior.Scenes like this lasted more than half an hour.

Li Si didn't mention why he came, and Lu Buwei also pretended not to ask.Lu Buwei took Li Si to visit the book hall, and the compilation of "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" was still in progress.Looking at those housekeepers who "twisted three beards in order to find a good sentence", Li Si couldn't help but think that if I had accepted Lu Buwei's invitation to participate in the compilation of "Lu Shi Chun Qiu", I would probably look like them now.In an instant, he felt that time seemed to be frozen, and he fell into the hallucination of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly.

Lu Buwei's words brought Li Si back to reality.Lu Buwei waved his arm, and said with a smile: ""Lu Shi Chunqiu", a grand event for thousands of years, a classic book for thousands of generations, from now on, how dare the six countries regard Qin as an unliterary country? If it wasn't for the suggestion of Mr. Take? Speaking of which, I have to thank you, sir." Li Si replied: "Xiangguo's kindness, how can Li Si deserve it. Li Si thought that thousands of scholars and scholars in the present and future generations should thank Xiangguo. "Lushi Chunqiu" has been compiled for seven years. I don't know how it is going?"

Lu Buwei said: "In another year, it will be a book." The ancients wrote books no better than today. "Lu Shi Chunqiu" has a total of more than 200,000 words. Regardless of the quality, judging from the number of words alone, it is only equivalent to half a month's work of some highly productive writers today.However, he has worked three thousand people and spent eight years in poverty. In this regard, I have to praise Lu Buwei for being rich, patient and open-minded. Lu Buwei said again: "Although the book has not been completed, nine out of ten have been completed. If you have time, sir, I hope you can correct me."

Li Sidao: "Li Si has little talent and learning, and has no writings. He cannot be expected by the Prime Minister." "Sir, why should you be overly modest. The number one talented person in the Qin State is none other than Mr. Mr. Although you haven't written a word yet, you must be able to do it. I really disdain it." Li Si had never been modest about his talents.In this world, except for Han Fei, he has never served anyone else.However, right now is not the time to read a book, so Li Si declined and said, "Let's save it for the day when the book is completed, and Li Si will read it together."

As the sun was setting, Lu Buwei hosted a banquet in honor of Li Si.The wine is hot and the ears are hot, and the host and guest have a good time.Lu Buwei said: "I haven't chatted with you in Changchang, and I miss it very much. When you are in Japan, Buwei Neng often asks for advice, and benefits a lot. Today, Mr. enters the court as a guest, and Buwei has questions in his chest, but there is no one to ask. Now I want to chat with Mr. again, is it possible that I don’t know?” Li Sibai said: "I have to chat with Xiangguo. I want to do what I want, but I don't dare to hope."
